Scientists who are pure care little for
implementation. But in this Baconian world, theory must
lie down—for money—with technology. Science must
test things out. Testing things out is the way Ford,
Wright, and Edison gave so much to so many, the way
Bell discovered the telephone and Columbus
discovered America. It is the way the secret base
discovered that in the tip of an eye dropper, in the tip of
a speck on a microscopic dot, lay power to conquer
the will and the heart of the world. Not that they made
their discoveries for the federal agency that had given
them the code name Archangel, nor for the Pentagon's
intelligence divisions, who were 100 percent behind the
potential in the operation. Not that they were doing it
for whoever first told them they could do it, for they
don't even know who that was. They were not doing it
because they were members of a conspiratorial web.
They were doing it to find out if it could be done.
The secret base was plotting—theoretically—
conquests beyond Alexander's dreams.
It was testing them out on Dingley Falls.
